to make her kid's life better.

It's time.

- OK!

Go on.

Go, baby.

You can tell her I'm scared.

All right. We're ready for Noni.

All yours.

What are you doing here?

Change of plans.

You... got on a plane.

Yeah, well, it wasn't quite

as memorable as my first time,

- but they gave me snacks.

- You have to get to stage.

- What's going on?

- I have to...

I love you.

And I'm not taking it back this time.

We need Noni up here now!

I'm sorry. We have to go.

Noni! Noni! Noni!

Thank you! Cheers!

It's so good to be home.

Cheers!

They asked me to sing

Nina Simone's "Blackbird. "

But I wrote this song.

I hope you like it.

We love you, Noni!

Ooh

Ah, yeah

As I dive in

Without my wings

At the speed of light

Fm flying to my end

As I fall

Without my wings

Humming the last song

The blackbird will sing

Fm free at last, free from you

Free from the past, freedom at last

What is life, other than a cage to me?

Blackbird

Oh, Blackbird

Blackbird

Oh, Blackbird

Now I rise

As the phoenix escapes from me

Through the fire, through the flames

Making ashes out of me

Fm free at last, free from you

Free from the past, freedom at last

What is life, other than a cage to me?

Fm free at last, free from you

Free from the past, freedom at last

What is life, other than a cage to me?

Blackbird

Oh, Blackbird

Blackbird

Sing one last song for me

Blackbird

Oh, Blackbird

Blackbird

Sing

One last song for me

I love you, too.

Hey, don't go anywhere, OK?
